Changing her will to leave her much younger boyfriend something is the best option — while the worst option would be if she marries him and he gets EVERYTHING!”
Cher’s grown kids — sons Chaz Bono, 54, from her long marriage to Sonny Bono, and Elijah Blue Allman, 47, from her short marriage to famed musician Gregg Allman — were reportedly hoping not to share their inheritance with their mom’s late-in-life partner.

Cher's sons have reportedly "disapproved" of her lightning-fast romance since the beginning. A source claimed the If I Can Turn Back Time singer was so annoyed with her children meddling in her relationship that she threatened to cut them out of the will months ago.
“Cher is mad at them she’s ready to cut them out of her life completely,” the insider shared in February. “She’s been hell-bent on marrying this guy and is speaking to her lawyers about adjusting her will to make A.E. her sole beneficiary.”
Chaz allegedly believes "AE" is a gold digger.
“They think he’s playing her to cash in on her power and influence in the music industry,” the source added. Cher's feud with her kids reportedly came to a head over the holidays when she accused Chaz and Elijah of being more interested in her money than her happiness, an insider revealed.
Cher's friends are said to be concerned about their romance, too — but the aging singer doesn't care. She's allegedly head-over-heels for her much younger boo. It's been a rollercoaster for the star and the music producer.
Cher and AE broke up in May after a months-long relationship and rumored engagement, but our source said she's back in “giddy mode” — making her loved ones fearful she's falling hard.
